T Tulead Brass 1/2" NPT Male to Female Ball Valve

Wrong size no problem on return

Changed the shut off valve for the water under the sink and this one worked great.

I used this because of its compact size as a shut off under my kitchen sink where I have a water filter. As others have said the threads are straight pipe thread instead of tapered pipe thread common in North America. This meant they were loose when they bottomed out in the taper pipe threads of the other pipe and leaked. A large amount of Teflon tape solved the leak. Two months to the day I came home to find the threaded portion had split spraying water all over and flooding my kitchen. Big $$$ in damage but I saved $10 of this Chinese fitting.

Tapa las linecon tan solo un pequeño giro, fabricado con buen material duradero. Lo recomiendo 👍 a todos

Chop saw'd 3 partial slices into a cast 3/4-1/2" bushing (1-1/2 bushing would have been stronger) created a die to slight tap thread the NPS into a NPT at the male end. I needed anyhow a NPS female, so this worked on the female end perfect. Use 1 1/2 wrap gas yellow Teflon tape and Teflon pipe dope for gas lines if this is your application I am told by an old timer 40 yr high end HVAC systems retiree. AI was not even close for help, nor hardware stores! 5 STAR IF IT WAS A NPT AS REPRESENTED, THE ENDS WERE TRUE CUTS!Beware: allot of newer fittings are not for gas, too large ID and small OD out there (to fit all or cheap?)
